Description

About the Company

Our client is a stealth AI startup backed by one of Southeast Asia's leading technology companies and is currently building its global founding team.

The company is developing an AI-native communication platform designed to simplify everyday tasks by integrating AI directly into conversations. Instead of switching between multiple applications, users can plan, organize, compare, research, and complete tasks within a single intelligent assistant.

Serving a market of billions of users still relying on traditional productivity tools, the platform focuses on delivering reliable AI workflows, persistent context, multi-step reasoning, and seamless task execution. The mission is to create an AI assistant that significantly improves productivity while making everyday work simpler and more intuitive.

About the Role

Our client is seeking an iOS Software Engineer to build and enhance its AI-native mobile experience.
